Hi-j turkey is truly an Amorlcan bird.
It existed on this continent with tho
Indians before Columbus landed.
Only a fow years ago among tho
caves of Arizona tho mumrnlflcd re
mains of a turkey wore found. Prac
tically every cavo once occupied by
tho cliff dwellers of that region con
tained tho bones or feathers of tho
turkey, but. this specimen is intact,
tts nno la a matter of speculation
among tho scientists of tho National
museum at Washington, where tho specimen is
on exhibition.
Another Interesting fact resulted from a sclen
tlllc expedition which Dr. C. Hart Mcrrlam mado
among tho mountains of Arizona; ho came across
a living species of bird Identical with tho ono
found mummified and which Is now known to tho
solcntlflc Wjprld by his name
Another recent discovery in connection with
tho turkey wns a Maya hieroglyphic which men
tions along with other things ten turkey hens and
five turkey cocks. This Is thought to bo tho first
record of tho turkey In this country and antedates
tho expedition of Cortes to Moxlco in 1519.
But tho turkoy goes back further among tho
Indians than even tho probnblo dato at which tho
specimen found in tho cavo existed. Among tho
Zunls, for instance, there exist mnny legends,
handed down from timo immemorial, which havo
fpr tholr subject tho turkoy.
Perhaps nono is moro Interesting than tho ono
which tells why his tail feathers aro dark, show
ing, as it doos, not only tho place ho held in tho
estimation of tho Indians but also a notlceablo
similarity to tho flood story of our Bible.
Once upon a time, so tho legend runs, thoVo
was a flood and tho faco of tho world was covered
with water. And tho turkey, weary of continually
flying, decided to seek somo spot on which ho
might light and rest. But the other birds and
animals advised him not to; and tho very gods
themselves warned him.
Ho refused to heed either advlco or warnings
and sot out In search of land. Aftor much effort
ho discovered a single Bpot not covered by wator
and alighted. But ho found It only deep mud.
So ho decided to hunt further for somo dry place
on which to rest. But, alas, when ho camo to fly,
he found his tail feathers stuck fast in tho mud.
Ho pulled and pulled, but could not get them
looso. Finally, after a gigantic tug, ho managed
to free himsolf. But bits of mud stuck to tho end
of tho tall feathers! And to this day turkoyB
havo dark spots thoro a sign of their dlsobo
dlenco to divine command!
Tho turkoy plays a moro Important part In tho
llfo of tho Indian than In his legends alone. Not
only Is It regarded -as a cholco article of food, but
in many trlbos It Is hold sacred. In tho parts of
tho country whoro tho turkoy wns worshiped It
was never eaten oxcopt when other food was un
obtainable And oven then sepnrnto portions
woro divided among various trlbos, so that tho
religious custom would not bo violated.
Turkoy feathorB rank next In Importance to
thoso of tho eagle with all tribes, whllo tho
Apnchos, tho Pamunkeys and Choyenncs choso
tho turkey's feathers for all ceremonial head
dresses and ornaments. Tho Pamunkoy trlbo also
usod turkoy fenthors for ornamental purposes on
their clothing, as woll as for their headgears. To
tlila day, when thoy don their native costumoB,
tho turkey feather la proforrod as ornament.
If Benjamin Franklin's words had beon heeded
tho turkoy would havo been tho nntlonal bird of
tho United States. iTho onglo Is a first cousin to
tho species known of old lit tho eastern hemi
sphere. Fltt-thernioi e, It has appeared upon tho
banners of mnny nations. It was a symbol of
tho Roman omptro. It was known In China for
ages, and today It appears upon tho bannors of
Russia, Germany and several other natlonB.
Tho turkoy Is Indigenous to Amorlca. Wher
ever tho onrly European advonturera and settlors
arrived thoy behold great flocks of turkeys, and
It soon bocamo known that thoy were a favorlto
food among tho Indians. Aftor a whllo turkeys
woro proudly sent homo as trophies of the chase.
In this way tho turkoy becamo practically a
world-favorlto as a food.
When Cortos, in 1519, nscondod to the plateau
of Moxlco, ho found a social life developed to n
high dogreo ot refinement. Ho was entertained
with oriental magnificence All tho delicacies to
bo found within tho omplro wero sot before him;
and though gamo was abundant, tho turkoy held
tho place ot honor among tho fowl. This wbb
tho flrBt tlmo that tho Spaniards had eaten tur
koy.
Thoy also saw groat tamo flocks of tho birds.
In fact, since prehistoric times, tho turkey has
beon domesticated and raised for market. Today
in Mexico mnny ot tho quaint customs thon In
voguo nro still kept alive. And so It Is that tho
purchaser ot today may select his cholco of a
fowl In tho vlllago street. Or If ho piefera tho

North of tho Rio Grando tho turkey was equally
woll known and treasured. Tho celebrated expe
dition of Coronado, between 1527 and 1547, pene
trated this unexplored region west of tho Missis
sippi. His explorations were chiefly in what Is
today Texas, Arizona and New Mexico, tho homo
of tho cliff dwelling Indians of tho Southwest. In
all the Indlnn villages, according to thoso early
explorers, turkeys wero to be found, both wild
and domesticated.
Present day scientists have found enclosures
In thoso villages which wore at ono tlmo used as
cages for wild turkeys, which wero herded to
gether, later to bo domesticated. Tho wild flocks,
according to the chronicles of Coronado, wero
many times a welcome sight to these explorers,
as tuikoys often made a toothsome addition to a
larder otherwise too scanty for comfort.
Cortes, In ono of his letters written nbout 1518,
montlons tho turkey. He carried specimens of
tho bird to 'Spain In 1520, where they camo Into
immediate popularity, and the breeding of turkeys
booh bedumo established. It was then that the
turkoy becamo known as "pavos" on account ot
his relationship to tho pencock, which was thon
called "pavo real" tho fowl of kings.
It was a long tlmo before the turkey reached
Franco, for tho flrst turkey enten thero was at
tho wedding of Charles IX and Elizabeth of Aus
tria, Juno 27", 1570, or 50 yea'rs a'ter Spain had
first tasted tho bird.
It introduction into England seems to havo
been In 1524. But, whenever It was, It soon camo
into populnr favor and was given such locnl
names as Black Norfolk and Uirgo Cambrldgo,
It Is an Interesting fact that descendants of thb
parent stock wero carried to Now England, whero,
crossed with tho original turkey already there,
thoy began tho breed that has spread from one
end ot tho country to tho other.
As In this country, tho turkoy has come to be
looked upon elsewhere ns a holiday feast attrac
tion. In Spuln, especially duilng Christmas tlmo,
tho markets are allvo with the voluble arguments
of tho venders nnd purchasers nnd with tho una
vailing protests of the victims. In Madrid somo
of tho principal streets aro crowded with troops
of theso birds driven In from tho country farms.
In tho early colonial dajs turkoys were still
abundant In Massnchubotts, the rest of Now Eng
land, Maryland, Virginia, tho Cnroliims and Flori
da, whllo In tho Inst named states tho turkey Is
Btlll found ns a native wild fowl, although In
greatly decreased numbois.
But a short distance from Richmond is a scnall
Island inhabited by a trlbo of Indians, thu Pa
munkeys. Thoy nre part of the Powhatana and
under an old colonial treaty they pay no tuxes
and havo their own government. They Must,
however, send to the governor of Virginia Bach
year a gift of game or fowl; and very ofto: this
gift takes tho form ot sovoral large, plum, tur
keys. Many havo been tho explanations mado us to
how tho bird now so popular at Thanksgiving
camo to bo called tho turkey, most of whk'h, to
the scientist, are nothing but fanciful. One such
is the explanation that it comes from the East
Indian word "toka," which, In Hebrew, takes t1a
form "tukkl," the pea
cock. As tho Jews In
South Europe were ac
quainted with this fowl,
it is assumed that
they naturally applied
the word turkey wher
ever It was introduced
in Spain.
Such a rounflabout
explanation, say those
who know, la entirely
unnecessary. The bird
was called turkey be
cause It was supposed
to come from Turkey,
where it was known as
an Egyptian hen.
In France tho bird
was called "dlndon,"or
In the femlnlno "dlnde,"
as though It were the
fowl of d'Inde-frora

Whether tho reaction of tho saliva is
acid or alkaltno has been under dis
cussion for a century, and men still
differ bo widely and so many authori
ties may bo found on either side that
tho subject Is involved in confusion.
Without doubt tho truth Is that tho
saliva is very feebly alkaline and
readily changes either to acid or al
kaline with the establishment of va
rious constitutional conditions. No
two Individuals can possibly bo exact
ly alike and tho constitution of tho
mouth secretions must vary according
to time, place and tho predominance of
ono or moro of tho forms of tho many
species of micro-organisms known to
be found In the mouth; also It must
vary In accordance with the individual
stato of health and mind, so that a
physiological Saliva, with tho biochem
ical elements in a stato of equilibrium,
is probably very rare.
If confusion exists concerning so
comparatively simple a mntter as tho
reaction of the saliva, It Is reasonablo
to expect difference of opinion In re
gard to eo world-.wldo and Vague a dis
ease as carles, or tooth decay, and Its
numerous allied conditions. Because
they aro so very closely identified tho
tamo general confusion exists with
reference to tho subject of decay of
tho teeth as pertains to the reaction of
the saliva. Hence, one atithorlty finds
carles duetto acidity and another to
akallnlty; another declares it to bo
caused by tho absenco of a certain
element, and still another flnds It Is
caused by tho presence of that same
element.
When tho teeth of children are seen
to be decaying badly the general Inter
pretation is that they aro soft and
poorly calcined. If, on tho other hand,
tho children happen to grow up to ma
turity, without developing decay of tho
teeth the interpretation is that the
teetli are hard and firm and therefore
resist decay. Then it has been gen
erally observed that during pregnancy
and lactation tho teeth of women suf
fer moro from carles than during other
periods, and this has been so universal
an experience that it gave birth to an
old saying: "A tooth for every child."
It Is generally held that the teeth
ot the mother aro robbed "of the cal
cium salts to build up the bones of
the unborn Infant, but this is one of
thoso half truths that are so confus
ing and misleading.
Caries Is essentially a disease of
childhood, and childhood has epigram
matically and most truly been desig
nated as "an extra hazardous occu
pation," Child bearing Is an extra
hazardous occupation,- too; and so,
measured by its mortality, is' modern
business hazardous. We havo already
noted that typhoid and other fevers
frequently and quickly destroy teeth,
and so does excessive physical work.

the origlna o th8 present turkey, indigenous tc I
tne West India islands. It Ali
that all turkeys have descended In some i way o
other from tho three forma known today as the
North American, tho Mexican and the HondJras,
tho ocellated varieties.
Tho Mexican turkey Is found wild throughout
tho republic. It Is short In shank, with feathers
on Its body of a metallic black shaded only slight
ly with bronze, while all Us feathers are tipped
with white. ,
The Hondurns turkey today la scattered all over
most of Central America and is extremely wild.
Tho bronzo turkey, that variety which today
holds tho placo of honor In the North American
group of turkeys, is outdone by nono when It
comes to beauty or size. Black, beautifully shad
ed with a rich bronze, tho breast plumage being
dark bronzo Illuminated with a lustrous finish ol
coppery gold, Its plumage gives full warrant for
tho name by which this bird is known.
Tho full-grown, healthy bird la a beautiful pic
ture of bronze; black, copper and gold, and some
times weighs 40 or moro pounds. Other varieties
known In tho barnyard, and even recognized
among dealers as having distinctive markings, aro
in reality only highly devoloped fowls with pre
served peculiarities.
In tho United States there are six standard va
rieties recognized and grown. Theso aro the
bronze, Nnrragansett, buff, slate, white and black.
The chlof differences are in size and color of
plumage.
Tho bronzo and Nnrragansett nre the largest,
the buff and slate medium, whllo the white nnd
black aro tho smallest. Within late years, how
over, the white variety has reached such a point
of popularity tnat it lias increased In size until
with Borne dealers it occupies third place.
Whatever tho turkoy may havo missed through
failing to secure that placo of honor suggested f'tf
It by Benjamin Franklin as tho national bird
It has nevertheless found a placo in tho regard
of the American people which Is held by no other
fowl.
Tlmo wns when a turkoy, or as many as could
bo carried, might bo had for tho asking. Thon
came tho period when 50 cents would buy a plump
' young fowl. Even so short a tlmo as ten years
ago turkeys could bo purchased for from S to 20
cents a pound, dressed.

Wo begin to suspect that It Is not
solely the abstraction of the phosphor

carbon, tho iron and tho fluorine from

universal prevalence of tooth and gen

suspect that the loss of that part ot

held In the plants, our ultimate source
of life, precipitates theso troubles

possibly give peculiar interest to a
publication entitled: "A Report of Sci
entific Experiments Conducted In the
Cleveland Public Schools for tho Pur
pose of Ascertaining the Value of
Healthy Conditions of tho Mouth."
The facts set forth In this report are
very Illuminating, as tho following
will Bhow:
In June, 1909, by authority of the
board ot education, the mouths of the
84C children enrolled in tho Marlon
school of Cleveland were oxamlned by
competent dental surgeons. Only
three were found with teeth In per
fect condition a colored boy eleven
years of age, a Slav girl of ten, who
had been in America about six
months, and an American born child
Of Russian parentnge, aged twclvo
years.
It was decided to form a teat class
of tho children showing tho worst
mouth conditions In grades 4, 5, C and
7, aggregating 423 pupils, and, accord
ingly, a group of 40 of tho worst
mouths were selected as making a
unit convenient to handle and repre
senting approximately 10 per cent of
theso grades.
Before beginning any trentment
each of tho 40 pupils was carefully
tested for memory, accuracy of per
ception, rapidity of thought and spon
taneity of association and differentia
tion, individual records being made by
a competent psychologist.
Tho following two cases, selected be
cause one made the poorest and the
other tho best showing In the flrBt
psychological tests, are very signifi
cant and highly suggestive of a fer
tile field for practical uplift work.

girl made tho poorest showing in tho
flrst psychological tests, and in her
school record sho was threo years
behind grade and doing poor work in
that grade The child was dull and
very slow to grasp Ideas. Sho was
suffering with severe constipation,
was stolid, with no animation at nil.
In fact, thero existed a decided mental
deficiency. Tho dentists worked for
her most of the winter; 1G teeth were
filled, requiring ten amalgam and 15
cement fillings. Her teeth are now In
a sound condition. She keeps them
beautifully clean, la now healthy and
brighter mentally, constipation entire
ly cured, complexion clearer and akin
a good color. There has been a steady
mental Improvement and decided gain

School record Before tho dental
work was done her scholarship and
attendance were poor; her effort was
good and her conduct fair. After:
scholarship, fair; effort, attendance
and conducL-good.
Tho psychological record showed
that In points of memory, spontane
ous association, addition, association
by opposltes and quickness and accur
acy of perception she made after the
dental work was dono a total averago
gain of 444.88 per cent.
